回 乡 偶 书

贺知章（659-744）

少小离家老大回，
乡音无改鬢毛衰。
儿童相见不相知，
笑问客从何处来。

Random Lines on Home-Coming

By He Zhizhang (659 - 744AD)， translation by Sun Dayu, 1981.

Parting from home a youth still,
And coming back old already,
I keep my local accent unchanged,
With temple locks grizzled and scanty.
Village boys knowing me not at sight, As a wayfaring trekker,
Laughingly asks wherefrom doth hail.
